Can't update OM-D firmware 1.5 version

I am on an iMac 10.7.5
installed the updater today (new install)

When I connected my OM-D (1.1) with a 9-18 attached, firmware update requirements was identified for the camera as well as for the lens.
I started to update the lens, it worked as expected

When I then tried to upgrade the camera (from 1.1 to 1.3 in the first step) I come as far as to the license agreement dialogue, when I press "accept" the "don't remove or turn off the camera" window is displayed on the computer, nothing happens though, noting is displayed on the camera monitor and when I look at the Olympus Updater process from the Mac OS activity moitor, it seems to idle.

After about 10 minutes I unplug the camera, with no effect upon the updater, has to Force quit the updater software....

Have tried this several times, with "Auto" as well as "Storage" selected from the camera USB menu

Am I missing something?

- Started with v1.2 already in camera

- Deleted my "Downloader" copy and reloaded "latest" version

- Ran Downloader. Afterwards checked camera. Had v1.4

- Based on forum comments, tried process again to get to v1.5

- After starting Downloader, I get a popup message "Your Olympus Digital Camera Updater has already been installed the latest version. There is no need for you to update it" The bad english is bad (typed exactly here).

- Have tried many, many times. Even with the USB cable connected to camera but camera off, how can it possibly know what firmware is on the camera? What if I had two OMD's?????

- As I only have v1.4, I actually have nothing better than v1.2.

I don't know where to go from here. H E L P !!!! Any comments are appreciated.

Thanks,

Ron

The way I did it was I went to the Control Panel and uninstalled the older version of updater and install the one I downloaded, after that it first went to ver 1.4 and then after I turned off and on the camera and rerun the updater it figured out that it needed to go to ver 1.5. I've also removed the SD card before the installation process.
